I love my 696 but I'm a 5'2 shortie. It's definitely lightweight, the handling is great - really light and flickable and I find the slightly forward leaning but not excessively sporty riding position really suits me.

BigOz on this forum is not a shortie like me, and has made various suspension upgrades over the years to get his bike to better fit him.

I do find if I'm stuck at traffic lights on a hot day, the exhaust toasts the back of my left leg.
